St. Patrick's Day is quickly approaching, and soon, people will be strolling the streets of Middle Tennessee, and all over the country, adorned in green. Did you know that St. Patrick's Day was not a widely celebrated holiday until the 1970's? Irish-Americans used St. Patrick's Day as a way to celebrate their Irish heritage. Now, those that are not of Irish decent partake in this celebration, perhaps even you.
So, what better way to celebrate this Irish holiday than by eating St. Patrick's Day inspired ice cream sandwiches? That's what I thought; there is no better way!!
What You Need:
- Cake Mix (I used Devil's Food)
- Ingredients on back of cake box (it is best to follow the recipe for a pound cake. This will make your cake more dense allowing it to be easier to cut and form the sandwiches)
- Mixing Bowl
- Mixer
- Cookie Cutter (I chose a shamrock shaped cookie cutter, just to be festive)
*Serving Size: 6
ingredients
- Preheat oven to 350*
- Bake cake as instructed on box (following the pound cake recipe)
- Remove cake from mold and allow to cool completely
- Slice cake into two seperate layers (lengthwise)
- Place in freezer
Only do the following steps if you would like to cut the ice cream in the same shape (I just scooped the ice cream on with a spoon and used a knife to smooth)
- Take a pan or cookie sheet and line with parchment paper, then empty carton of ice cream on to cookie sheet
- Cover with a layer of parchment paper
- Smooth out ice cream so it is evenly distributed (I used a glass dish to help me) and freeze (for at least 3 hours. I left mine over night)
Let's Start Baking!
place ingredients into mixing bowl (*being sure to make the pound cake recipe)
MAGIC!
bake/cool/cut lengthwise
empty carton of ice cream on to cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper)
place second piece of parchment paper on top of ice cream and smooth
FREEZE!!
- Remove cake from freezer
- Cut out shapes in cake (be sure to cut an even number)
- Then either spoon out the ice cream on to the cake cutout or if your ice cream is hard enough you can cut the ice cream into shapes and then place onto the cake cutout
- Place another cake cutout onto the top of the ice cream and VOILA'!
cut out shapes in cake (being sure to cut an even number)
layer ice cream and place top piece of cake to make sandwich
Yum! Now, take a big bite!
(or if you are being "good" freeze again until ready to be served)
Happy Eating - Chalice
